They had fled Portuguese Mozambique, but to survive the revolution they separated and lost track of each other. He is certain she is alive, and did not die in the explosion that he thought had so effectively faked her death.

Inspired by the life and times of Stephen Biko an apartheid activist arguably as important as Mandela. This novel is a fictional account of such a character. A story of sacrifice, suffering but ultimately redemption.
